uSERS Windows 8 pot restarta or Close the system either by accessing PC Settings from the menu Charms, either adding tile sites For these two actions in Start Screen. Another way to access easier for users of options of Shutdown and Restart in Windows 8 would be adding them to The Win+X menu (Power Menu), menu displayed using the combination of keys Windows + X or by clicking-right on Thumbnail-ul of Preview al Start screen.
The Win+X menu is made up of 3 groups of tool-uri, Shortcuts for these being stored in system folders.

Then, still in File Explorer, sail to the folder C:UsersUser NameAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsWinX, where User Name is your user's name (you can also access the folder by giving pasta to %LOCALAPPDATA%MicrosoftWindowsWinX in the address bar in File Explorer).
In the folder WinX you will find the three subfoldere What make up groups in Power menu: Group1, Group2 and Group3 (Each of these contains Shortcuts to Tool sites accessible from The Win+X menu).
How can we add shutdown and restart options to the Win+X menu?
Adding us shortcut-uri In existing groups, or creating other groups in the folder WinX has no effect on WIN+X menu in Windows 8 (Shortcuts or groups added will not be displayed in Win+X) because they must first be approved with the help of a particular algorithm (thing that needs Changing of system files, which is not recommended). The solution is to use a tool gratuit, namely Hashlnk, with the help of which the shortcuts we want to add in Power Menu I am approved, so that they can be displayed and allow the tools to access.

Create a second shortcut to shutdown.exe, then in property to it, change Target adding at the end of the line /r /t 0 and rename the shortcut as Restart.
Downloadati Hashlnk, and move Shortcuts create in Directory which contains tool -ul dezarhivat. Press the key Shift And click-right on that folder, then select the option Open command Windows here.
In the command window open the line hashlnk shortcut-name.lnk (Replace shortcut-name first with shutdown, then with restart; example Shutdown.lnk and Restart.lnk) and give Enter.
Create a new subfolder called Group 4, in %LOCALAPPDATA%MicrosoftWindowsWinX and move the approved shortcuts with hashlnk tool in it.
Then give restart the explorer.exe (or give Restart the system) for the changes made to have an effect.
After restart, open The Win+X menu and you will notice that it now displays and Shutdown options and Restart, which you will be able to use from now on to close or Restarta Windows 8.
